ABOUT

High school senior from the greater Seattle area with a love for music. Not looking for anything in specific, but I would love to find like-minded people who would love to meet up and just jam, and see if we can vibe together. I'm super chill, I'd like to think I'm easily to get along with, and I love to laugh. If we work well together, it would be amazing to find a partner/friend (I don't wanna say band just yet) to work with, possibly write some stuff, go perform, put stuff on be, etc.

Influences

My musical influences:
-I'd be lying if I said I wasn't into mainstream pop: Britney Spears, Rihanna, Madonna, Kesha, Cheryl Cole, Selena Gomez and the other Disney pop stars. Also Marina & The Diamonds.
-I love contemporary R&B/Soul: Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Duffy. This genre, along with pop, is also my main vocal influence.
-I'm not super into rock, but I can enjoy it, the first bands that come to mind are Marianas Trench, Simple Plan, Paramore, old middle school pop punk stuff.
-I'm a little new to the Indie Pop scene, but I love artists like Neutral Milk Hotel, The Head and the Heart, Florence + The Machine, Lana Del Rey…
-Of course, many of these artists don't fit into one specific category, I love the blending and blurring of genres, I think it's wonderful.
